Exploring Worship and Perseverance | Episode 11: If I Had More TimeIn this episode of *If I Had More Time*, we celebrate our 11th episode milestone and dive deep into discussions about worship and perseverance. We start by sharing some updates, listener feedback, and shoutouts to our viewers, including those from Australia. We tackle the essence of worship, even when our hearts don't feel aligned, and discuss the impact of midnight moments—those dark times in life when our faith is truly tested. Pastor Jeff provides insights on prosperity, poverty, and persecution gospels, and shares personal experiences of resistance and how community support can make a difference. Additionally, we reflect on worship song selection and the importance of doctrinal clarity in our music. Join us as we explore these themes and answer listener questions!**Updated Timestamps (with +45s):**00:45 Welcome Back and Episode Introduction01:17 Viewer Engagement and Feedback02:26 Shoutouts and Behind the Scenes03:28 Diving into the Message04:02 Summary of the Passage04:37 Themes and Deeper Insights11:42 Midnight Moments and Personal Reflections18:06 Worship and Discipline38:06 Inviting God's Presence42:54 Presence in Christian Productions43:23 Throne Room Songs vs. Studio Songs44:18 Patterns of Praise and Worship46:37 The Persecution Gospel47:14 Contrasting Gospels: Prosperity, Poverty, and Persecution52:49 Dealing with Persecution and Resistance1:00:38 Forgiveness and Boundaries1:07:20 Choosing Worship Songs for the Church1:20:03 Conclusion and Next Week's Preview
